2 mysteries
  • uninterpretable gender = ?

R (interpret, uninterpret) ?
  • “sometimes” interpreted😳
  • unrelated😟
  • always (un)interpreted💀

 

uninterpretable = ?

 

uninterpretable = class

 

uninterpretable = class
interpretable = ?

 

uninterpretable = class
interpretable = animate

 

uninterpretable = class
interpretable = sentient

 

uninterpretable = class
interpretable = animacy
fem/masc = ?

 

uninterpretable = class
interpretable = animacy

‘gender’ =
  • (declension) class
  • animacy
  • markedness

 

additive → compositional

 

... ... ... marked marked class class num num

 

animacy ?

 

suffixes never

 

roots always
